Demons & Wizards - 2 Songs - Live at Wacken Open Air 2019

[@Arnarost]

Fiddler on the green is one of the best heavy metal ballad of last 20 years

[@fluffygab]

*of all time

[@Knoeking]

Dauerschleife.. so ein geiler Song

[@kelineya3501]

together with the bards song!

[@rockburgos7641]

Of last 50 years too

[@mikaelpagdades1751]

How right you guys are! 🎸👍💯 I literally never get tired of listening to that masterpiece of a song🎹🎵🎶💯

[@Theodax1]

THIS is the spectacle Demons and Wizards deserve! Hansi has NEVER sounded more powerful than this performance. The playing was absolutely superb by everyone involved. Those arpeggios in Fiddler are almost a song unto themselves.

[@andreasmuller6365]

The way he goes from his screams to soft singing in Fiddler is just jaw-dropping. It's almost like he's getting better with age, which with this range is almost ridiculous.

[@WALDENSOFTWARE]

His vocals have definitely been getting better and better with each new BG and D&W album. Its has been really exciting to hear his newer recordings for me, and I am so looking forwars to III and next year's new BG!

[@manueloff8463]

Impressive his performance by far the best show of the wacken 2019

[@julioalejandrofloresherrer6479]

Top 2, with Slayer. I can't decide but both of them where awesome

[@barbaravance6774]

You mean THEIR performance? 💕🙏🇺🇸

[@Scrapperstrz]

im amazed that his voice has lasted so long. it sounds like its a struggle keeping that range up so many years. love me some Demons and wizards!

[@WALDENSOFTWARE]

I was excited about Legacy before it came out, but when it did, oh man, I did not expect the uniqueness of the high level musicianship. This guy is on a roll, and I really hope (and expect) he keeps it going. Looking forward to new D&W and next year's BG!

[@leedlelee4357]

@@WALDENSOFTWARE Legacy was a damn treat

[@yunusemresahin6430]

The 3:15 - 4:15 worths more than the whole discography of some artists.

[@nickbrack9354]

One of the best voices and one of the best right hand. The result? Magic.

Hansi is still badass! He could sing a Telephone book and it would sound awesome as well

lol!

[@PauloHowlett]

Actual live backing vocals! That's great.

[@greekfreak1980]

I see Jon Schaffer brought Jake Dreyer from Iced Earth over. The guy is a monster guitarist,check out his own band Witherfall,they´re great.

[@timematters800]

I don't know Witherfall but will check them out now!: )

[@greekfreak1980]

Awesome band like a mix between Nevermore and King Diamond. On their off. youtube channel,they have both their studio albums in full-lenght.

[@primaldemon13]

I would have lost my absolute shit when they started Fiddler...love that track....to see it liv is really special...Hansi is a monster...

[@mattjaku]

I saw them play it in Chicago and it was so good!

[@therealelizabethsmallwood]

It was one of the most incredible moments ever. We went to Germany pretty much JUST for this set (also the Wacken Promised Land etc.), and it was unforgettable.

[@robertomoreno8996]

I love Hansi's voice, it's powerful, it reminds me of Imaginations from the other side years. I'm looking forward to hearing the new album on February, 21th of 2020.

[@iamalpharius9483]

Thats my 47th birthday. Nice b-day present.

[@luisangelm.721]

The guitar solo of Fiddler on the green is so touching :´) 14:37 La bandera de Costa Rica lml

[@desape]

BLURAY/DVD with the full show come on Hansi and Jon make it happen for the fans

[@MrEgofreak]

Who has DVDs anymore? Come on, man! HD DVD is where it's at. JK! I knew what you meant.

[@A_Ducky]

Still waiting...this needs to happen!

[@brunobsouzac]

Hansin should invite these backing vocals to blind guardian tours.

[@yippeethreeeight]

I know two of them are vocalists for Ayreon. Marcella Bovio is one, and John Jaycee Cuijpers is the other. I don't recognize the other two vocalists. The keyboardist, might be a LUL too (Joost van den Broek, also from Ayreon).

[@leny1338]

I have to admit, some tears came down my face near the end of Fiddler of the Green, thanks Hansi for your freaking voice.

[@MelissaHellcat]

Fidder is my favorite song, and I love Crimson King very much too ))) DEMONS & WIZARDS is just best metal band with best vocalist in the world! Their music stole up to my heart most close

[@barrygomez5968]

So the pyrotechnics almost blew Jon's face off at the end of Crimson king. Close call

[@josearalat]

Yeah, funny!

[@rileysmit4463]

Looking at his face, he totally realized.

[@casperhunter6894]

Yes, he quickly looked away!

[@davobard]

I love that they had actual back up singers, and not just using the tracks from the albums. Amazing.🤘

[@manifa33]

One of the best live solos I have seen in the Fiddler....

[@Propagandalf1995]

It sounds like angels singing in the background at fiddler on the green. And the god himself on the microphone!...

[@amourvictoireliberte]

Jon comeback ! We're with you. Shame on century media. Iced Earth Rules, resistance has always been the hallmark of the group.

[@dimmuo4127]

5:58 Oh Jon, be carefull with that pyro!!!

[@HenriqueTozzi]

Hansi 2019: Next year will be better! 2020: Lemme show you Still, Glad to see Demons & Wizards at Wacken! I love their music!

[@carlosluismendez7392]

2021: XDDDDD

[@yippeethreeeight]

Man. I wish I had been at this show. The backing choir made it so much better than the show I saw.

[@hazbojangles2681]

The Guitars at the end... Omg!

[@LexHansenGuitar]

Excellent show! The ending to fiddler on the green gave me goosebumps. Would have loved to hear when the crowd sang the bards song after this, but the video would have been too long

[@Lilly-Schmitt]

Wacken has complete shows on their channel. The video wouldn't have been too long.

[@andrewkennedy9704]

@@Lilly-Schmitt link? I looked couldn't find it.

[@xninja4000]

Saw them in Portland, OR back in August. Best show I've ever been to.

Hansi probably at his peak right now. just fucking insane vocals

[@thesentinel5523]

Estuve ahí con mi novia y algunos amigos. La mejor experiencia que he vivido por lejos en mi vida, y viendo a las leyendas vivientes de hansi y Jon. Greetings from Chile touched by the crimson King yeeaah \m/

[@GeoffSaari]

Te amo hermano. Viva el heavy.

[@boschman4335]

This video needs WAY more views! This is perfection of live ballad performance!

[@rodrigo3732]

I might be wrong,but i think this is the first video of them singing the crimson king live on youtube.

[@themasterofdisastr1226]

There is a live performance of DaW @ Hellfest 2019. Not sure if they played Crimson King thou.

[@HeroineDark]

At least blind guardian still exists as a band

[@cantinaromero285]

O que se ve nessa apresentação é algo sem precedentes na historia do wacken, simplesmente emocionante.

[@erichorton3901]

I would kill to see Down Where I Am live like this.

[@gadushholl3469]

Again, again, again, I listen to this. I hope they are all good friends and will keep doing such great performances! I love how the crowd let them know how happy they are having them at WACKEN!

[@craigbutterfield592]

Damn good performance. Epic at that

[@darrylburmeister1676]

Glorious .

[@adrianmorgan6009]

Love their live performance although I can´t help but wonder why Demons & Wizards have choirs at live performances and Blind Guardian don´t since BG songs are filled with more choir sections than D&W in studio.

[@mustakettu85]

could it be because BG and D&W are on different record labels?

[@nathanberry4849]

Simple answer = It's Wacken after a nearly 20 year absence. Go big or go home. The real answer involves who the choir is and who is on the keyboards. With Marjan Welman, John Culpers, Marcela Bovio in the choir and Joost Van Den Broek on the keyboards and Hansi on vocals... Ie; All of those people are known associates of a certain Tall Hippie Dude who writes Ridiculous Things. Wacken was in August, less than a month later, Ayreon performed Electric Castle live in Tilburg. Now, corrrelation doesn't always equal causality, but yeah, timing is everything, and when it presents the opportunity to go all out at Wacken as a side effect... duh.

[@gulobramblebush]

@@nathanberry4849 the left woman is Marjan Welman (Autumn) and the right one is Marcela Bovio (ex-Stream of Passion, Mayan), both were on the same Ayreon album as Hansi. The men, I have no idea.

[@nathanberry4849]

@Mischa van der Hout Did you perhaps not click read more? I know who everyone on that stage is and said so, and I was being cute by not mentioning Arjen by name, cause he is still a relatively obscure figure. If you know who he is, then you tend to be in the loop for these things, if you don't, like, I'm assuming the person who asked the original question, it may seem odd that the stage is so elaborate. Marcela's a monster. I've been a fan since Human Equation, and she just gets BETTER every year. It's insane how good Arjen is at picking talent.

[@gulobramblebush]

[@davidallen4498]

Frk'n bloody epic.

[@corrado8955]

Man the first Demons and Wizards album is legendary. Couple decent tracks on Touched by the Crimson King but many of them just didn’t stand out to me. The new single was ok on first listen but the last couple minutes felt like that old magic again. Love Schaffer and Hansi! Dryer did a nice job with the Fiddler solo too. Felt bad that Schaffer and Siepen were in easy mode and he’s going insane on his guitar lol.

[@Legionbass19]

Jason Sesta I feel the other way around. First album is mostly okay to me but Touched by the Crimson King is where the styles of both bands perfectly mixed and we got something truly special.

[@DrDoomerVonDoomguy]

Am I the only one who finds it weird that Hansi called Fiddler On The Green "a nice ballad", considering what that song is supposed to be about?

[@DrDoomerVonDoomguy]

@@wowguy1243 Basically, Hansi saw two kids die when they got hit by cars. Two separate incidents, within like a week of one another. So he and Jon wrote Fiddler On The Green as a way to honor their memory.

[@DrDoomerVonDoomguy]

In another video from this tour, Hansi called it a song about hope in the face of tragedy, and I was like "Yes! That is a much better description!"
